I
have had the opportunity to use the oil and did see a dramatic
result on a powerful sixteen hand, six year old quarter/appendix
gelding. He cautiously accepted the oils but I noticed a quicker
response to relaxation and trust with with me while trying to
rid his mind/body of anxiety and impatience. Over a four day
period, this gelding found a more quiet and balanced place to
be. This horse has a beautiful spirit and the potential to be
something special in the right hands but this hurried trainer
is advising the owner to man thru the process. I am feeling
troubled watching this rider accept the trainer's advice.

I
purchased the essential oils & video (which I continue to watch
to refresh my memory). It's awesome
to see the horses get so relaxed, & now that I've
applied it a few times they're relaxing more & more. Both horses
lower their heads, lick their lips & get sleepy eyes. The other
day I got 2 big yawns out of my mare & some deep breaths. My
husband's gelding really likes it too & let out several deep
breaths. I will continue to use the oils & accupressure - what
a nice way to be able to thank our horses for all they give
us. Thanks.

Thank
you Mary! I look forward to receiving the DVD along with the
oil! Used the oil awhile ago and my
horse loved it! I thought it calmed him down immensely!
Saw you on Rick's show and have been trying some of your pressure
point release tips as well and Red Carousel loves our time together
and so do I!
From C. Bloss, Narvon, PA
I
just spent my very first session doing aromatherapy with your
special blend on my two horses, Blue and Gi. They loved it!
Gi, my Icelandic, put his head to the ground and
stayed there, he was in heaven! Then he followed me around for
more! Blue, my TWH, enjoyed it also and he is a tough character
to calm. I actually made lots of progress getting Blue to lower
his head and then he let me brush him all over without being
haltered or tied! I had such a wonderful experience doing this
and can't wait to do it again. It's most relaxing for me too!
I also did the mouth massage and the acupressure you demonstrate
on the DVD. I just felt so good doing this for the "boys" and
I know they appreciated it. Thank you so much for sharing this
special focusing session with the "world". I feel so good about
it, I just can't express enough!
From F Jorgensen Tryon, NC
I
received the oil a couple weeks ago. I ordered it
for an unwanted Tennessee Walking Horse that I acquired last
November. Micah is 12 years old. He has a deep scar across his
tongue and scars at the base of both ears. He was gelded two
years ago at the age of ten. He has had 8 different owners listed
on his papers from over the years. He flinches at everything.
If his whiskers happen to touch my arm he jerks his head back
sure of the punishment to come. When I first got him, he would
hold his breath while I haltered him. I never thought about
the tightness of his muzzle until I saw your segment on Rick
Lamb's Horse Show. I checked the next day and his mouth is absolutely
taught. I started using the oil and massaging his muzzle. What
a change! When I stand in front of his stall, he puts his face
close and doesn't withdraw. His muzzle is loosening. I hope
that overtime with continued massaging and consistent, kind
handling, he will come to know that he has nothing to fear in
me. Thanks for a great product and idea.

I
have purchased the aroma therapy package and my high-strung
Arabian horse loves it - right from the first "whiff", he started
to relax. Very nice! Many thanks for your kind attention.

I
recently purchased The InBalance Horse Essential oils.
After watching the video (Focused Horse) a couple of times,
it was time to try it on my guys. One is 23 yrs. old and the
other is 12. I felt it would be a good first experience if they
just sniffed the open bottle. However, the younger one was ready
to eat the bottle so I started with him. To say I would have
my fingers in his nostrils was something that I didn't think
he would allow the first couple of times. It was amazing. Lots
of licking and chewing, blowing, tongue rolling, VERY soft eyes.
When I was done he just kept yawning. After that he put his
head by my arm, as if to say, may I have more please???? It
was very touching. He is usually quite a pushy horse, but appeared
very soft at this time. I was VERY pleased with the response.
Then my husband rode him. It was a very windy night and all
kinds of noises were happening in the arena due to the wind.
He kept himself focused. We were so pleased. Thank you very
much. A wonderful smelling product that my horses appeared to
love.
The 23 y. o. was interested in smelling the oil,
but not wanting to eat the bottle. Before I got my fingers in
his nostrils, he had to throw his head up 2-3 times, but then
it just hit him. He lowered his head, eyes softened, licking,
chewing, yawning, blowing. He also seemed to love the acupressure.
He, too, came over and nuzzled my hand, as if asking for more.
It was a much better than expected first time experience. Thank
you so much. We have 6 police horses at our barn. I thought
of them immediately, as benefiting from this InBalance Blend.
They are having a training meeting on Saturday. I am giving
them your video to watch. Hopefully, they will be at least half
as enthused as I am.

Fly
Lite absolutely LOVES your oil blend - in
fact, most days, she looks for the oils. It certainly calms
her down and relieves her tension (which she has quite often
as she is a typical chestnut mare). We used it before we schooled
cross country and it made all the difference between the normal
"jiggy, crazy" Fly and the one that WALKED around the course!

Good
Morning Mary: I have been meaning to share this with you since
last weekend, but had not had the time to write. Last weekend
was the second in the KDA Snowbird series of Dressage shows
this winter held in Frankfort, KY. I had been working my good
old boy, Oreo, in prep for that, his one time this year to show.
It snowed Friday night, just a dusting, and it was cold and
very windy. Good thing the arena is enclosed and heated.
Oreo is almost 22 yoa, and usually a pretty calm
boy, but does get separation anxiety a lot at shows and clinics
when separated from his buddies. I get show anxiety, when my
horse gets separation anxiety. Sound like a prescription for
fun, excitement, and explosive spiraling? It can be. It has
been. Enter the essential oils. I remembered to put them on
me, it is now my morning routine, but left them inside, and
headed for Frankfort. Oreo was great around the stalls, with
his best buddy next door. He got jumpy (remember, it is a dressage
show) when we moved away, however, right on schedule. While
in warm up, he began calling out to his best friend, and anyone
else who would listen.
However, it ended there. I had my act together.
I was able to remain calm, and relaxed, focused and on track.
Now Oreo is not a great dressage horse. He is an old eventer,
with several injuries and almost no impulsion unless I tap him
with the whip with every other stride. When you do that, he
looks off, because he gets jumpy (remember , it is a dressage
show) and he looks uneven. However, he did quite well. Came
in 4th place in one class, 7th in another. But the important
thing was the clarity in my head. I got remarks like, "Excellent
geometry" "Well ridden", and "Very Accurate Test". That was
my goal. My head stayed in the game. Essential Oils? Maybe.
Me learning to ride dressage tests better? Maybe. Combination
of many things? Probably. But the only
thing I changed since my last show was the Oils. Interesting
- No?
Hope your hands are staying warm and you are
getting to ride often.
